Influence of Nanopaticle CaCO3 Addition to the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene-CaCO3 Composite. This research was carried out to study the effect of adding CaCO3 nanoparticle on the physical and mechanical properties of polypropylene-CaCO3 composites. It was characterized by several parameters such as tensile strength, hardness, and thermal analysis including both melting point and heat of fusion using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Based on XRD results, the particle size of CaCO3 after 24 hours of milling was 39 nm. There are various compositions of polypropylene-CaCO3 composites (PP MF35: nano-CaCO3) made in this study, namely 40%:60%, 35%:65%, 30%:70%, and 25%:75%. The results showed that the tensile strength of the PP MF35-CaCO3 composites decreased with increasing nano-CaCO3 content. Meanwhile, the hardness of the nanocomposites increased with increasing nano-CaCO3 content, but decreased the melting point and heat of fusions (ΔHm) of the nanocomposites. The infrared spectrum showed that the interaction between PP MF35 and nano-CaCO3 was only physical interaction and there was no chemical reaction.

“…It is widely used, but the production of plastic packaging currently still has limitations, such as low transparency and difficulty in shaping when blowing packaging. Researching and developing plastic materials capable of bearing loads at high deformation to improve the limitations of packaging production is an essential and exciting goal [1,2].…”

This paper studies and evaluates the mechanical properties of a blend of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The HDPE/PET blends are prepared by injection molding PET into HDPE with a ratio of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%, respectively. After the injection molding, the samples are measured for tensile strength according to standard D638. As a result, the tensile values of HDPE/PET gradually decreased with the ratio of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% (PET) and 18.45, 17.31, 15.45, and 14.43 MPa, respectively. It was shown that the tensile strength of the HDPE/PET composite decreased gradually as the PET percentage increased because the penetration of PET in the HDPE structure increased the elastic modulus of the PET ratio, leading to a decrease in tensile strength. The packaging is known to be mostly blown from HDPE, which has many outstanding features. However, some disadvantages exist, such as low bending strength, low heat distortion temperature, low transparency, and, most importantly, packaging. The packaging blown from HDPE is unstable. This problem is a limited application of HDPE in the packaging industry. To improve the recycling of plastic packaging from HDPE, adding PET is the most effective way. PET plastic packaging is transparent, flexible, toxic, and difficult to recycle, so it can only be used once. Incorporating PET into HDPE will improve the transparency and mechanical properties of HDPE and reduce the cost of PET plastic, and reduce environmental pollution.

Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) are widely used polymers but significantly contribute to plastic waste. Effective recycling of PP and PE is essential for reducing plastic pollution and enhancing sustainability. Collection of post‐consumer PP and PE wastes forming comingled mixtures is routinely done due to the difficulty of sorting. While polymer blending offers a cost‐effective way to recycle these mixtures, their inherent immiscibility limits the development of high‐performance blends. This review provides an overview of recent advances in compatibilization strategies aimed at enhancing the PP/PE blend performance, with a focus on using bio‐derived fillers as sustainable compatibilizers. Mechanical properties of the PP/PE blends compatibilized by various approaches, including non‐reactive, reactive, and bio‐derived filler compatibilizations are summarized and discussed in terms of their advantages and weaknesses. Simultaneous incorporation of bio‐derived fillers and commercial compatibilizers potentially provides PP/PE blends with more desirable mechanical performance. Furthermore, the review summarizes the rheological and crystallization behaviors of compatibilized blends, emphasizing the significant impact of compatibilization on the processing‐structure‐property relationships within the blends. Current challenges and future directions in using bio‐derived fillers to enhance PP/HDPE compatibilization are discussed. This review provides insight into a sustainable future by endowing plastic waste with desirable properties for broader applications.
